Paramedics to work in community based and GP teams

Paramedics have a unique skill set which enables them to deliver care to patients across a variety of settings – making them a very valuable resource, not only for the ambulance service but also for other parts of the NHS.

A pilot which will enable paramedics to work across  primary and community-based care, as well as within the ambulance service, is to be run in collaboration with the Yorkshire, North East, East Midlands and South Central Ambulance services. Specialist and advanced paramedic practitioners will work in Emergency Operations Centres (EOCs) within the ambulance service; community-based multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs); and GP practices, on a rotational basis.
